nWhat was dignity?

n

n

nFor a mother who was about to leave, being able to see her daughter in her last moments should be more important than dignity.

n

n

n

n

nFurthermore, when she abandoned her daughter to survive, she had already lost her dignity.

n

n

nShe only wanted to see her daughter now.

n

n

nShe only wanted to know if she was okay.

n

n

nOtherwise, she would not have chosen to end her life here.

n

n

n

n

nChu Xiaoye brought Catherine in front of the lioness, then turned around and left with Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei.

n

n

nThey still had to train.

n

n

nBirth, illness, and death were the natural laws of every life.

n

n

nOn this grassland, life passed away every moment. Who could change anything?

n

n

n

n

nThe lionesses were terminally ill and could not be saved.

n

n

nEven if he could be saved, he would not do anything.

n

n

nAt most, he could only help her fulfill her wish and let them meet. He wanted her to have a daughter protecting her in her last moments and not let other carnivores eat her body alive.

n

n

nThis was enough.

n

n

nHe was a lion.

n

n

nHe was really just a lion.

n

n

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

n“Come, train your muscles with me!”

n

n

nHe brought Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei to the forest not far away and started training.

n

n

nMei Mei looked at his graceful movements and leaned behind him in admiration. She wanted to rub against him to show her affection and please, but he kicked her face without any mercy.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail gloated and deliberately went in front of Mei Mei, as if he was saying, “Come, it’s the same if you rub my face.”

n

n

nMei Mei slapped his butt!

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was furious. He immediately turned around and pounced on it.

n

n

nThe two little fellows started to chase and fight.

n

n

n

n

nChu Xiaoye glanced at them but ignored them and started training.

n

n

nNow, his speed and strength were increasing, and his hunting skills were not inferior to that of a lioness. He was only lacking in size and teamwork.

n

n

nOf course, he also lacked a mane.

n

n

nA lion could not have no mane.

n

n

nThe mane made the lion look majestic without being angry. They made them look stronger, more majestic, and more handsome.

n

n

nWithout a mane, he would not even be able to get girls in the future, let alone dominate the land.

n

n

nHe had to grow up quickly and become a true lion!

n

n

nThere were very few prey in the bushes at night.

n

n

nHe found nothing these few nights.

n

n

nHowever, he did not starve.

n

n

nThe food stored on the Baobab tree could not be touched for the time being. He had to save it for the most difficult times.

n

n

nTherefore, he learned to catch birds and dig their nests.

n

n

nAlthough the taste was not good, he could still eat them.

n

n

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail and Mei Mei were eating with relish.

n

n

nAs for Catherine, he did not know if she liked it or not. However, every time he deliberately threw her some in the grass, she would snatch it away.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail loved to eat woodpeckers.

n

n

nHowever, although there were many trees in this forest, woodpeckers were not common.

n

n

nWoodpeckers liked to eat the brains of other young birds and always took advantage of their parents’ absence to secretly fly into their nests, pecking the heads of young birds and eating their brains.

n

n

nThey liked to make nests in the trees, and they also liked to peck open the bark and suck the sap of the trees, causing harm to many trees.

n

n

nOf course, they also ate the bugs in the tree.

n

n

nOverall, they were not beneficial birds.

n

n

nHowever, in nature, every creature wanted to survive. There was no such thing as good or bad.

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nJust as Chu Xiaoye was exercising, Mei Mei and Little Curly Tail ran over with their mouths open and were panting.

n

n

nThey were thirsty and wanted to drink water.

n

n

nEvery time their brother came out, he would bring a big bag of sweet water with him. It tasted much better than the water they used to drink in the river.

n

n

nThey had never discovered the secret on the Baobab tree, where a thick layer of animal skin was laid.

n

n

nTherefore, they did not know where their brother got this water.

n

n

nThey only knew that their brother was very powerful and could get anything.

n

n

nRegardless of whether he was hungry or thirsty, as long as he came to find his brother, his brother would definitely be able to resolve it.

n

n

nTheir brother was the king in their hearts, the omnipotent king!

n

n

nBut this time, his brother ignored them.

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nMei Mei was anxious. Her mouth was dry, and she stuck out her tongue again. She walked behind Chu Xiaoye and wanted to rub against him in a fawning manner.

n

n

nBefore Chu Xiaoye could kick her, Little Curly Tail, who was beside her, pushed her away with a look of disdain.

n

n

nThis stupid fellow, can you stop making your brother angry? How can a lioness like you rub his butt? That’s for his younger brother—I, Brother Curly Tail, to rub!

n

n

nAfter Little Curly Tail knocked Mei Mei away, he hurriedly went behind his brother in a fawning manner and prepared to rub against him.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was still merciless. He raised his hind leg and kicked him in the face.

n

n

nCould these two fellows stop flattering him?

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nHe called out majestically and walked towards the orchard with Little Curly Tail and Mei Mei.

n

n

nHe did not bring any water tonight.

n

n

nThe ground of the orchard was full of mature fruits and there were also some green fruits on the branches.

n

n

nThere should be a lot of water stored in it.

n

n

nHe had wanted to try these things for a long time, but he did not know if the lion’s taste buds and stomach could handle it.

n

n

nNormally, it should not be a problem.

n

n

nLions’ food was mostly freshly killed prey. Occasionally, they would eat some meat that was not fresh, and most of them had parasites growing inside.

n

n

nTherefore, sometimes, lions would go and eat grass to let the grass enter their stomachs and then pull out those bugs.

n

n

nMany lions had many bugs in their feces.

n

n

nOf course, there were definitely no parasites in Chu Xiaoye’s body.

n

n

nEven if he ate parasites, they would definitely be killed by the things inside his stomach.

n

n

nOr rather, they would die from the smell.

n

n

nThey came to the orchard.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye searched the ground for a while. Seeing that most of the fruits were rotten, he could not bring himself to eat them.

n

n

nHe raised his head and looked at the tree, preparing to climb the tree to pick some green fruits.

n

n

nHowever, on the fruit tree beside him, a little leopard was digging its nest.

n

n

nAt this moment, she was lying in front of the bird’s nest with her head lowered and her eyes wide open as she looked at him. The corner of her mouth was covered in the egg liquid of the bird egg and there were a few feathers on it. She did not seem to have thought that he would discover her and looked silly and adorable.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye raised his head and stared at her for a while before looking away and preparing to go elsewhere.

n

n

nHowever, it was already too late.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail and Mei Mei had already discovered the little leopard on the tree.

n

n

n“Roar—”

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was immediately excited. Without any explanation, he jumped onto the fruit tree with a whoosh!

n

n

nLeopards and lions were competitors.

n

n

nIf they encountered the other party’s cubs, they would never show mercy.

n

n

nUsually, leopards were superb at climbing trees, and lions could not do anything to them.

n

n

nBut now, this little leopard had encountered three cubs who knew how to climb trees and were very good at it!

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was very fast.

n

n

nBelita was terrified.
